- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 Tablespoon Ranch Seasoning
- 4-8 oz Cream Cheese, softened (as desired)
- 1 cup Sour Cream

Directions:
Prepare the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot. Drain but do not rinse.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chopped chicken with salt, pepper and ranch seasoning.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F (approximately 6-8 minutes).
Remove the chicken to a clean plate as you prepare the cream sauce.
Place the chicken broth in the skillet and bring to a simmer, then add the sour cream and cream cheese and stir as the cream cheese melts.
